NSP – Phase 1

Dissemination

“Families have waited a long time for something like the National Standards Project, which will provide direction for parents and educators so they can be confident in their decisions, and not waste valuable time and money on unproven treatments.”
Lisa Borges / Executive Director / The Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism, Inc.

Since 2009, the National Autism Center has disseminated the National Standards Report in a technical manual through broad web-based distribution. Due to high demand, we also make the National Standards Report available for purchase through our online bookstore.

Additional dissemination projects include:

A Parent’s Guide to Autism and Evidence-based Practice, a comprehensive manual for families with criteria for selecting evidence-based services and programs that have been proven effective and are backed by scientific research. The manual is now available for download or purchase.

Evidence-Based Practice and Autism in the Schools (Edition 2), a manual for public school systems outlining specific evidence-based program components, procedures, and implementation strategies. The manual is available for download or purchase.

Findings and Conclusions: National Standards Project, Phase 2, an update to the summary of empirical intervention literature (published in the National Standards Report in 2009) that includes studies evaluating interventions for adults (22+) which have never been systematically evaluated before now. The report is now available for download.
